  • Graphene-based nanopore and nanostructure devices and methods for macromolecular analysis
    Patent number: 10761043
    Abstract: Provided are graphene-based nanopore and nanostructure devices, which devices may include an insulating layer disposed atop the graphene, which can be in a planar shape or nanostructured into a ribbon or other shapes, containing a single graphene layer or several layers. Graphene layers and nanostructures can be placed nearby horizontally or stacked vertically. Also provided are related methods of fabricating and processing such devices and also methods of using such devices in macromolecular analysis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2020
    Assignee: The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania
    Inventors: Marija Drndic, Ken Healy, Meni Wanunu, Christopher Ali Merchant, Matthew Puster, Kimberly Elizabeth Venta
